Bobby Dean's Everyday Eats


 Chicken and broccoli

Stir fried chicken with cashews and green beans
Three bean kale chili
Not three but two bean - black beans and refried beans. I didnt do the chili business. Just the beans, 1/2 onion, tomato, chopped kale and lemon pepper. So happy with the soup. Some tortilla chips into it. As hearty as a soup can get.
I had some leftover boiled potatoes. I was  going to add the usual chilli powder and salt and then one look at the lemon pepper and thought why not. Lemon pepper potatoes. Yum Yum with cumin seeds. You never know until you make, what way of spice the dish is going to take.
When you have the prep done, it is easier to let your mind wander with what route the dish should take.
For example roasting butternut squash. if you have come to that stage. then you have already surmounted the step of peeling and slicing it. Once you have that, oh so many ways of making butternut squash dishes.

Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
